Tripwire Interactive announces they are adding three new maps to the multiplayer beta test for Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad, bringing the number of maps in the testing of their upcoming World War II first-person shooter sequel to six. The maps, Grain Elevator, Red October Factory, and Barracks, go live today, and all three include both Territory and Countdown game modes, while Barracks also supports Firefight mode. The beta is open to anyone who pre-purchased the Digital Deluxe Edition of the game on Steam, and for those who have pre-purchased the vanilla edition, they are also now selling a separate upgrade to the Deluxe Edition for $9.99 USD.

Because what you said isn't funny, rather Its the reason alphas are generally not public

Then they shouldn't have made it public. Making an alpha public when EA has a more than capable QA team reeks of marketing and as such must be judged as an alpha and as a game that was playable for people to try it.

You said it right, alphas don't belong to public. So if they don't want comparisons between the RO2 beta (It's not a RC yet) and the BF3 alpha, don't release the fucking alpha in the first place.
